Doctor Boone is a very caring doctor, listens to your ailments, is very understanding and does an outstanding job. However, his staff is another story. He had an implant appointment this morning at 9. The dental office coordinated the day of the surgery requirements with Dr. Boone's office. A blood draw was needed before surgery. Dr. Boone's office said that the request for the blood draw was sent. The request was not at the lab. We called Dr Boone's office to send the request. They said it would take 30 minutes before they can do this. So, we called the dentist. The dental Office was able to do this, it, it took another 45 minutes. So, we were an hour late to the implant surgery. Both the dentist and anesthesiologist were waiting for him. This is not the first time that Dr. Boone's office was lacking in the follow through of requested paperwork. Before this, we asked Dr. Boone's.office to fill out paperwork. I was told by them that it was done. Yet, I needed to follow up again because it was not done. The office staff is inefficient and unorganized. Maybe they need proper training or hire more staff. However, Dr. Boone is a great doctor. read more

Dr Boone is last a A dying breed of physician Practical and attentive and calm Not like these newer drs that have no empathy and are in medicine just for their egos and money Dr Boone and his staff provide good care and always have appt slots read more

Ray saw your review absolutely correct. Dr. boone and his staff go above and beyond, and they care about your health.

I wish I could leave two reviews. One for Dr. Boone (Five star - super knowledgeable cool guy), and another (ZERO STAR) for his Wildly sub-par office staff!! So I call in the middle of the day (around 3:30PM) and I try booking an appointment, but the woman on the other end says she's "just the answering service". She suggested I call them back since it's the middle of the day. I did and the same thing happened. Apparently, the office staff "weren't in the mood" to do any work (you know, BOOK APPOINTMENTS!?!) and so just let the phone roll over cause "who gives a F##**". Dr. Boone, if you read this PLEASE fire your office staff!! Both you AND your patients deserve better!!!! read more

Dr Boone and his staff are amazing! He's straightforward, honest, and has always resolved all medical problems for me and my family. Louisa and the nurses there are incredibly knowledgeable and very pleasant. If your looking for a doctor I highly recommend Dr Boone. Regards, Linda Cronkhite read more

I had no issues with the staff like others are saying. I had an issue with the cleanliness of this place. Everything is old, dusty and rusty. They didn't even use the paper on the table. The room was full of supplies and clutter. I was praying none of those instruments would be used on me. How is that even legal to be dirty? The Doc himself probably needs to retire. I don't think he can offer any modern day medical advice and it looks like he doesn't really care anymore. read more

Came here from a recommendation and he is the nicest doctor. The office itself could use some updating, but the staff and Dr. Boone were friendly. He also didn't seem to want to rush me out of there and took his time and addressed my questions. Even giving me some helpful suggestions for healthy living. They have walk in hours from 9-11 and 1:30-5..or something like that. read more

It's a hit or miss place for scheduling an appointment. He's still very old school, so I would avoid if you have a muscle or tendon issue simply because he isn't an advocate for physical therapy. He'll tell you that all muscle or tendon issues can be fixed with rest and ice. He will not consider the fact that you may have severely hurt yourself/torn something. He won't provide any advice on how to get back to full strength. So, expect reinjury to occur. read more

Dr. Boone is a kind caring and a great doctor. His staff is kind and helpful.

He will not consider prescribing ivermectin and dismissed it as a unproven treatment for Covid-19 nor will he allow a blood test to confirm Covid-19 antibody levels in your blood. Other medical services were professional; staff is very efficient. read more

After my visit with Dr. Boone today I do not plan to come to him ever again. He's been my primary physician since I was a kid & I'm 25 now. I came in to get an ongoing rash checked out on my hands and the first thing he asked me was if I was vaccinated. Told him I wasn't and then he started explaining how he doesn't understand why people aren't getting vaccinated and that I have a higher chance of getting in an accident in my car than having a negative effect from the vaccine. If i wanted his opinion on an experimental drug that has been giving all kinds of people negative effects I would've asked. He seemed to be annoyed while giving his explanation of it as well which made me uncomfortable. I thought doctors are suppose to make you feel better? After we started to talk about the rash on my hands I let him know that I've seen other doctors & for this and they've been prescribing me ointments with steroids in them and they haven't been working. They've actually been making it worse! Let him know that I seen a dermatologist yesterday and she told me that it's obvious that the ointments aren't working so she was going to try a different treatment. So what does Dr. Boone suggest? To give me an even stronger steroid!! What an intelligent decision of his.. smh. I also asked if it was possible to fill out paper work for me to go on disability from work because I can't use my hands. Both of hands are covered in this rash, my skin is so dry and cracking super deep, they're itching out of my mind, and it's stressing me tf out!! His response was that he doesn't think this is disabling me in any way since I'm still able to breath and walk around fine so he'll call my work and see what they can do. I told him that I'm on LOA right now because my work has nothing for me to do! All I want is some time off of work to let my hands heal. Then he tells me that my hands could be like this for another year so do I expect to just be on disability for that time? Like wtf?!?! If it's bothering me on a daily basis like this then yea I hope so! I'm in pain doc and I need help!! I don't need you to keep prescribing me things that do not work. Very disappointed in my experience today. Asked the ladies at the front desk to give me a copy of everything told to me from Dr. Boone during my visit today and a copy of my medical records. I don't think it's right to be treated the way I did today. If you're looking into trying out this Dr. Boone I do NOT recommend. Find a doctor that makes you comfortable and gives you the help you need read more

Been going here for 20 years or more .. He's a amazing Doctor. His staff is something other than amazing . Should be more like a staff-infection. Rude and don't show any signs of caring what the patients concerns are or willing to help. Can't get prescriptions filled or be seen in a timely manner. Really ashamed that his practice is falling apart due to his staff. read more

I called Boone's office in mid July 2018 because I was between docs. I asked if Dr. Boone was accepting new patients, he was.. we were on the phone about twenty minutes. At the end the receptionist said, "he does not accept patients being treated for ADD, ADHD, Depression, .. (and several other mental health conditions I do not recall)." I said I only need the doctor for annual checkups, internal medicine, and never anything related to mental health. I was shockingly turned away!! What about the Hippocratic Oath, doctor?! Do the greatest good, never withhold care? I mulled over calling the American Medical Assoc to perhaps ask about legality of this! *frown* read more

I called Dr. Boone's office the day of and received an appointment right away. His staff is always friendly and polite to me when I go. I received treatment for a viral infection going around and felt better within days. Dr. Boone's attentiveness, experience and suggestions are what I love most about going to him. He is honest and will tell you what you need to do to be healthy. I would recommend Dr. Boone to anyone! read more

Love the doctor, but can't stand some of his staff. I have been a patient of Dr. Boone for a few years now and have loved his services. His staff hasn't always been the friendliest but I've been able to manage. Today was the final straw... I am done trying to manage the bad attitude some of them have. read more

I no longer live in San Diego but when I did I found Dr. Boone to be the nicest guy and best doctor ever. He was always helpful and never in a hurry. I always left his office feeling at ease and believing I had been given the best care possible. Denis Kiely read more

Dr. Boone is rocks, staff is cool, he listens to you, it doesn't feel rushed, I haven't had a doctor in a while that I want to go back to until now. He doesn't just give you meds and say have a nice day. I would give a 5, but CVS has been trying to get my allergy medicine refilled and they haven't replied back to them, now I'm allergenic and pissed off so he gets 4 stars. He's still good though :) read more

Dr. Gary Boone is AWESOME. He often charges less than his stated office visit of $55 to about $40 OR LESS. caring, gentle and unassuming DOCTOR with ZERO EGO'S. dr. Gary Boone is a god send. for some of the( very few ) negative comments about Dr. Boone's perhaps over worked staff,...well, are you here to see the doctor with short wait, prompt short appointment wait time or are you here to DATE HIS STAFF??? (get real, people!) this practice is down to earth value, you can often come in and be cured of your ills in same day or next day for less than $55 or way less. try other doctors in town, often their waits are 3 days to a week and $140 office visits and BEYOND. enjoy Dr. Gary Boone before he retires into the sunset then...all you fools will MISS THIS GREAT PLACE. best value. wake up, people! read more

I have been trying to reach you guys from last 4 working days and left messages to your voice mail and also to people over the phone who always said they we will call you back in a short time but no call back ever. And now your voice mail is also full, we are on a strict deadline here with Canadian immigration office. Why are you guys on the immigration panel when you don't care about people and their valuable time read more

Thanks for the quick appt Dr. Gary! Friendly front desk staff , and the Dr is a cool guy too. Much appreciated! ... This was sitting in my draft reviews from 8/2016 :( lol read more

I have been seeing Dr. Boone for years. Don't remember how long.. He is the best MD I have ever used. As far as his staff goes, I pay no attention. I go for medical treatment, not a social visit and for that he is excellent! Old school, no dazzling gizmos just great, sound advice and treatment. read more

Boone Gary, MD - Star of India coming in to port! - Family Practice Near Me - San Diego, California

After moving to San Diego from Pittsburgh, known for its excellent health care, I was careful to do a lot of research to find the best doctor close to my home and Dr. Boone kept coming up with great reviews. The reviews were right, he is very nice and makes you feel very comfortable He answers all of your questions in great detail and you never feel rushed out of his office. I hope he never retires! read more

The doctor here is nice but the staff is so rude. When you call they put you on hold forever and they are super rude. The staff acts annoyed when you call to have anything done. Also when you need a prescription refilled its hell to have them fax anything to the pharmacy and back. I have to call them many times to check in to see if they are doing it. They act like you are bothering them. The doctor seems very smart and caring to bad the staff is so rude. The office here is also very out dated and needs new furniture and carpet and when I am paying cash or a lot for insurance I want to be in a nice environment. The place looks like it should have been re done about 20 years ago. Gay Boone is very nice but I do not think I will be coming back again due to the treatment from the staff. read more

Dr. Boone is great and I've used him for years. However he recently moved his office. I called this morning to try to be seen today because I'm sick and feeling worse by the moment heading into the weekend. The receptionist informed me there was no availability until next week. I said I thought I needed to see someone today, she said ok, take care and hung up. I used to love going to Dr. Boone because I could always be seen same day for illness but I guess not any more. Bummer. I guess it's off to Urgent Care for me. read more

I had two appointments this week. The staff was courteous and professional and Doctor Boone was generous with his time explaining things to me to ensure optimal results. Being sick is no fun, so it's nice when the doctor can help you feel at ease. read more

So, I give a big thanks to my long time Dr., Dr. Gary Boone. I split my knee open (pretty much close to side to side) today fishing falling on some rocks. I drove to his office directly from the bay and he was pretty much stitching me up 10 minutes after I got there. I hear horror stories about medical care, I guess a good Doctor is like a good mechanic, hard to come by. I have a good Doctor. btw, I am fine 10 or so stitches... "Merely a flesh wound." read more

I've been going to Dr. Boone whenever I feel sick or if I need some medical attention. I usually could just walk in and I didn't have to wait for a long time to see him. This morning after down with fever for 2 days, I went to see him. Apparently they changed the system. Now they don't take walk-in anymore. Even when theres no other patients waiting in the lobby. The next available appt would be next week. I don't plan when I'm going to get sick nor I want to get sick. That's why the flexibility of walking in was the reason I went to Dr Boone. Now that has changed. read more

The staff was very nice, and Dr. Boone was exceptional. He really listened to me, and answered every one of my questions very thoroughly. He was very knowledgable about the questions I asked (about medications). I get so nervous going to the doctor, and he really made me feel at ease. I am so thankful for Dr. Boone. I would recommend him to everyone. read more

As of early last year Dr Boone moved his practice to an updated modern facility off Balboa and the 5 freeway. Execellent!!

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Famly Medical Center sooner. This place is amazing. They are affordable, they see you same day, walk in, whatever! If you don't have insurance this is the most affordable place you can come to see an excellent doctor. Gary has become my primary care physician, I have been going to him for years. He knows his stuff, one look at you and he will give a proper diagnosis and refer you to someone great if he can't help you. Helpful staff, great docor, great prices. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Boone since the mid nineties. He is our family doctor. He listens. He is very professional. Other doctors have even given me compliments about him. They have said he is a good man. I hope to be a patient of his for many years to come. He is that good. Thank you Dr. Boone. read more

Staff is friendly and you can walkin without an appointment. The wait is not very long and the Dr is nice. Great for people without insurance, an affordable place to go if you need a prescription, etc. we have been here several times and are happy and would recommend. read more

My doctor! I love this guy! His practice is what family medicine SHOULD BE! I am so happy have him as my family Dr.! Couldn't recomend him more. It's personal service as it should be. After leaving the nightmear of an hmo I am so happy to go to a little independent Dr. That gives you the attention and service and care you need and should be getting. Bless this practice and we need more care like this. Again, this is what medical care should be! read more

I have been going to Dr. Boone for a few years now. He is very polite, professional, and affordable. He listens to you, asks questions, and finds healthy options besides meds. I will continue to see him as years go on. read more

I've been with Dr Boone about six years and he's absolutely amazinggggg. He's friendly, easy to talk to and great about supporting you with being healthy medically and emotionally... He moved locations and I followed... Definitely a great DOC! read more

Have been a patient of Dr Boone's since 1989 when I tore a tendon/ligament in my ankle playing soccer. I write this review..so that if you are looking for a professional, calm, family doctor....who you can get to when you need to...who will LISTEN to you....who will refer you when needed (to good people)... and never an issue with insurance coordination and payments.... then this is the place for you. 'nuf said. read more

Dr. Boone has been my PCP for years now. As a (bad) runner, he always has the correct recommendations for my running ailments. (I believe he used to be a runner). His new office is updated and in an easier to reach location. read more

Dr. Boone is the best doctor I've ever had. I hope he never retires. Like the other reviewers have mentioned, he listens and never makes you feel rushed. My friends are envious of me because when I become ill, I can see my doctor. His treatments are effective. If he has to give you an exam that might be uncomfortable, he makes it easy because he has a great sense of humor and keeps you laughing. His office staff is also very nice and friendly. read more

I am new to the area and called to schedule an appointment to establish a relationship with a general physician in the area. I was refused as a patient due to having a history of anxiety. I was told that if I have or do suffer from depression, anxiety or ADHD that they would not take me on as a patient. I am looking for a doctor who is sympathetic to my physical and emotional well being, I guess its good to find out they aren't willing to help in these areas now vs down the road. I question their integrity given this type of screening process. Guess this is a great doctor if you are in perfect health. I'd prefer a doctor who cares about aiding in all areas of my well being. read more

Dr. Boone is wonderful. He takes his time and listens to all my health concerns. You would think the waiting time would be long since an appointment is not required, but I've always been seen within 15 minutes. I feel very comfortable with him as my doctor. read more
